Samenvatting:

A clear, concise and practical guide to help midlife women discover who they are now and what they want next.

Since we were teenagers, women have been offered the promise that we could have it all: career, love, success, money and so much more. The caveat is that having it all comes with a lot of doing, and without a guarantee of happiness or fulfilment. It's not surprising that many women arrive at midlife exhausted, bored and wondering what went wrong.

In Forget About Having It All®, Lisa Petty, PhD explores the myth of having it all and the social expectations that hold women to an impossible standard. Dr. Petty highlights the norms and beliefs that frame our daily lives, often without much conscious thought from us. But with a shift in how we perceive the world, Petty shows how women can unplug from the programming that tells us what we should want, so we can focus on creating what we do want in our lives.

Through a combination of research and observation from her personal journey of midlife self-discovery, Petty offers practical advice and exercises for women who are ready to embrace their innate wisdom and create their own path.
